Hi Calvin,
The VPP MPLS code is not specific to any given interface type and so we support
MPLS over all interface types that VPP supports. The logical separation is
achieved because all MPLS LSPs (and IP routes too) are programmed in terms of
next-hops, and any interface can be a next-hop.
For example;
create gre tunnel src 1.1.1.1 dst 2.2.2.2
mpls local-label eos 33 via gre0 out-label 44
or
create host-interface name bob
mpls local-label eos 34 via bob out-label 99
(I skipped the part where the interface is made admin up and IP addresses are
assigned)
So to achieve MPLS-o-UDP one approach would be to follow this model and create
a UDP-o-IPv[46] tunnel.
Regards,
neale

Actually, MPLS over UDP has been asked by some of our clients, so that would be
perfect. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Ed.

Or maybe, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2549 . :)
Calvin let us know if you need any help….
